Seriously, does Gorilla Tape get gooey on top like most other adhesive tapes?
My wife commonly rides in light pants. If there were a significant issue there, she would not be asking for fixing her saddle with the tape. By now our main saddles are completely taped over and live happily. At the more general level, when you ride in light clothes a shadow will develop over the area on which you sit on the bike. Is there a difference when you sit on the Gorilla tape instead of the original vinyl? Presumably there is some. Is it noticeable in practice? No.
